323-324, 327-329, 415. Contains personal recollections of Jackson and his career in France. The book is valuable as the first technical treatise on the woodcut, but the historical section is notoriously inaccurate and heavily weighted with Papillon's prejudices. PERCIVAL, MACIVER. "Jackson of Battersea and his Wall Papers." _The Connoisseur_, 1922, vol. 62, pp. 25-36. REDGRAVE, S. _Dictionary of Artists of the English School._ London, 1874, p. 227. REICHEL, ANTON. _Die Clair-Obscur-Schnitte des XVI., XVII. und XVIII. Jahrhunderts._ Zurich, Leipzig, and Vienna, 1926, p. 48. The finest work on chiaroscuro, with 100 magnificent facsimile illustrations in color, fully described, and black-and-white illustrations in the text. Reproduces two of Jackson's Ricci prints in actual size and color. SAVAGE, W. _Practical Hints on Decorative Printing._ London, 1822, pp. 15-16. Savage was the first writer to acknowledge Jackson's contributions to color printing, although he was critical of his inks. The book attempts to show, through examples, that color printing from woodblocks is practical for a variety of purposes. SMITH, J. _The Printers Grammar._ London, 1755, p. 136. SPOONER, S. _Dictionary of Painters, Engravers, Sculptors & Architects._ New York, 1853, vol. 1, pp. 420-421. STRUTT, J. _Dictionary of Engravers._ London, 1785-86, vol. 2, p. 41. SUGDEN, A. V., and EDMONDSON, J. L. _A History of English Wallpaper._ New York and London, 1925, pp. 61-71. The most thorough book on the subject although the treatment of Jackson is narrowly confined, like most wallpaper books, to his shortcomings as a decorator for elegant homes. WALPOLE, HORACE. _Anecdotes of Painting in England. A Catalogue of Engravers who Have Been Born, or Resided in England. Digested from the Manuscript of George Vertue._ London, 1765 (1st ed. 1762), p. 3. Important as the first compilation on this subject. _The Letters of Horace Walpole._ Edited by Mrs. Paget Toynbee, Oxford, 1903-05, vol. 3, p. 166. WEIGEL, R. _Kunstlagercatalog._ Leipzig, 1837-1866, vol. 2, pp. 103, 105; vol. 4, p. 52. WICK, PETER A. _Suite of Six Color Woodcuts of Heroic Landscapes by John Baptist Jackson after Marco Ricci._ 1955, 12 pp. Manuscript read at the XVIII Congres International d'Histoire de L'Art, Venice, Sept. 12-18, 1955. The first good, scholarly study of the Ricci prints. Traces Jackson's career brief
